Maisie. .
Can nn May if Maisie too young later on. .
Though I would still like Maisie!!

Lemonnaise · 04/05/2017 10:21

I prefer Jemma

SuperBeagle · 04/05/2017 10:01

Maisie.

Jemma is outdated, IMO.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/05/2017 09:28

Jemma.

Mrsknackered · 04/05/2017 08:30

I like Maisy with a Y. Not sure why but prefer Y spellings over 'ie'
I've never met a Jemma younger than me and that puts me off. Love Emma though.

pipilangstrumpf · 04/05/2017 08:24

Definitely Jemma!

Maisie is a cutesy comical mouse name imo.

Lemondrop09 · 04/05/2017 08:17

Jemma. I think it's pretty and can suit all ages

Maisie is cute but something a child will outgrow by the time they've finished school

KoalaDownUnder · 04/05/2017 07:27

Agree that Jemma is very 80s. I don't much like it myself, for that reason.

But Maisie is just so cutesy.

Heathcliffitsme · 04/05/2017 07:25

Yes Jemma very 80s and I know loads and loads. I only know one Maisie age 12 and think it's lovely.

Dontrocktheboat · 04/05/2017 07:20

Not keen on either but Maisie if pressed. There are loads of cutesy names in this generation so don't think it's an issue. Jemma is very eighties!

Plunkette · 04/05/2017 04:25

Jemma

mum2be2boys · 04/05/2017 04:08

Definitely Jemma.
It sounds like a strong name, whereas Maisie is a very cute and girly.

Kathryn160417 · 04/05/2017 02:06

Definitely Maisie, but I'm biased as it's my girls middle name and was my nannas name!

KoalaDownUnder · 04/05/2017 01:54

Jemma.

Maisie is twee. I can't imagine introducing myself as 'Maisie' as an adult.

squoosh · 04/05/2017 01:46

Jemma.

Definitely.

MiniMaxi · 04/05/2017 01:46

I prefer Jemma - can't quite imagine Maisie for an adult (Though I'm sure there are many!)
